Biden Kicks Off 2024 Campaign with State of the Union Speech
8 Feb 2023
On Tuesday night, President Biden laid out his promises, plans, and prevarications for America, demanding again and again that Republicans “finish the job,” a rehash of Barack Obama’s “more work to do.”
WATCH: Pres. Biden had a clear message during his SOTU.
“We’ve been sent here to finish the job.”
“Let’s finish the job this time.”
“Let’s finish the job and close the loopholes.”
“Let’s finish the job.”
“We’ve got to finish the job.”
“Let’s come together and finish the job.” pic.twitter.com/mXIAa0ksrv— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) February 8, 2023
Clay & Buck broke down the speech clip by clip — as you can hear in the audio link atop this page in full. And also they had done the same on Twitter in real time.
Letting people go back to work isn’t “creating new jobs.” And January 6th was not the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War. Two monster lies from Joe Biden to start his speech.

If you doubt, as Buck said, that Biden will be a formidable candidate in 2024 despite all the dementia, remember John Fetterman was there last night as a U.S. senator.

Naturally, no Democrat speech would be complete without demonizing oil companies. But good news: Biden said we’re not going to need them anymore in ten years, which drew laughter from the chamber.
Joe Biden says we’re only going to need oil for at least the next ten years. Ten years?! He’s gone off the rails here. Everyone reading this is going to need oil for the rest of their life: pic.twitter.com/7dAZrnspAD

Another favorite false claim showed up: Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare because they hate all old people, not just Biden. There was pushback on this absurdity.
BIDEN: “Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I’m not saying it’s the majority.”
MTG: “Liar!”

Biden ignored the threat from China, and said that nobody would want to change places with their all-powerful leader, which clearly came as a surprise to all the would-be statists watching — and those who know how many dictators exist.
I have no idea what this means on China. It’s totally nonsensical and random yelling by an old man. pic.twitter.com/3r54mBR647

Weirdest moment? Here:
